Argon config page not working in the last master build or snapshot

[okibcn]

When opening the Argon config page, the browser displays this error page:

/usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/argon-config.lua:3: module 'luci.model.ipkg' not found:
	no field package.preload['luci.model.ipkg']
	no file './luci/model/ipkg.lua'

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Build OpenWrt with Argon from sources using these commands in a build-ready system:

git clone -b master https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git openwrt
cd openwrt
 ./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
git clone -b master https://github.com/jerrykuku/luci-theme-argon package/luci-theme-argon
git clone -b master https://github.com/jerrykuku/luci-app-argon-config package/luci-app-argon-config
#     vvvvvvv   select your device with make menuconfig
make menuconfig
echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_luci=y" >> .config
echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_luci-compat=y" >> .config
echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_luci-theme-argon=y" >> .config
echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_luci-app-argon-config=y" >> .config
make defconfig
make -j$(nproc) 

2. Then, flash the sysupgrade under openwrt/bin/target// in your router without saving previous settings (default behaviour).
3. After the system boots up go to system>Argon Config

EXPECTED RESULT: The Argon config page shows up properly.

OBTAINED RESULT: The error message shown above shows up.

Using the packages available for download in https://github.com/jerrykuku/luci-theme-argon repo shows the same behavior when installed in a system using a SNAPSHOT image.

@jerrykuku I have tracked the problem to a missing package dependency luci-lib-ipkg

An easy fix would be adding the dependency to Makefile

  PKG_MAINTAINER:=jerrykuku <[email protected]>

  LUCI_TITLE:=LuCI page for Argon Config
  LUCI_PKGARCH:=all
- LUCI_DEPENDS:=+luci-compat
+ LUCI_DEPENDS:=+luci-compat +luci-lib-ipkg

  define Package/$(PKG_NAME)/conffiles
  /etc/config/argon

[jerrykuku]

Great

@jerrykuku, when are you planning on fixing the issue? I am automating some images for my routers and I am adding the missing dependency manually, but it would be much better to maintain proper dependencies. I am now patching the Makefile manually before building the images.

Thanks
